WHAT WE SEE AFFECTS US: BLACK BODIES IN PHOTOGRAPHS OF BAHIA IN THE 19TH CENTURY.
Visual Anthropology, Photography, Memory, Racism.
This dissertation aims to launch an anthropological look at images of black bodies in photographic production in Bahia in the 19th century. The guiding proposal of this writing is, above all, an immersion in the search to understand how and in what way these collections elaborate an ethnographic narrative about the images of those bodies.
